She was born on June 9, 1931 in Pittsburg, Kansas to the late Albert and Abbie Cahill Massmann. Preceded in death by her brothers, Albert P. and John "Jack" F. (ordained Father Albert, Order of St. Benedict). She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Stanley Alphonse Baron; three daughters: Jane Hyland of Oakland, CA, Elizabeth Adams of Jacksonville, FL, and Julie Sheffield of Baton Rouge, LA; sons-in-law Ray Adams and Alexander Sheffield; and five grand-daughters: Ellen Cahill Adams, Sarah Elizabeth Adams, Louise Carroll Adams, Anna Baron Sheffield and Sophie Baron Sheffield. She is also survived by her siblings Mary Massmann Witt, Patrick Massmann, and 17 nieces and nephews. She attended St. Mary's High School in Pittsburg and graduated from The College of St. Teresa in Kansas City, Missouri in 1953. In 1955 she moved to New Orleans and became one of the first Certified Professional Secretaries in Louisiana. She worked for Kaiser Aluminum, New Orleans Magazine; and Herron Wire for 30 years. She moved to Slidell in 1970 and lived on Bayou Liberty. She attended Saint Genevieve Church—often by boat. In 1976 she donated one of her kidneys to her older brother Jack, who lived another 30 years (unusual, even today). Her passion for archaeology led her to dig for prehistoric man on the island of Majorca, Spain in 1984 with Earthwatch. In 1986 she traveled to Ireland with Earthwatch to search the dirt for work flint made into tools which would prove the existence of Mesolithic man in southeast Ireland. She was a voracious reader and inspired a love of reading in her nieces, nephews, daughters, granddaughters. She saved every letter ever written to her, including "thank you" letters from children, and she liked to surprise adults with their own childhood correspondence decades later. She was fascinated with dream analysis, the work of Carl Jung, Myers-Briggs typology, the I-Ching and Ancient Egypt. She studied genealogy and took to online research like white on rice. She loved cemeteries, Edgar Allan Poe, Edward Gorey and Alfred Hitchcock. And vampires, but she carried a torch for Bela Lugosi. After Katrina she relocated to Jacksonville. She always savored her morning ritual of silently reading the paper. Post Katrina she read the Times-Picayune online, but she was thrilled to get her hands on a real TP, even if it was weeks or months old. A week before she died she served her legendary lamb shanks and cheese grits to family and friends at her new condo on the St. John's River in Jacksonville. She took no prisoners in Scrabble, and she missed her friends in Louisiana. She donated her body to science for medical research (medcure.org), but always said she wanted her tombstone to read: "She Done All She Could." We would add: "To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."—J.K. Rowling, spoken by Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. She was (re)reading The Keys of the Kingdom when she died. On her desk was Fr. Francis Xavier Lasance's "Prayer for a Happy Death: O Jesus, while adoring thy last breath, I pray thee to receive mine. In the uncertainty whether I shall have command of my senses when I shall depart out of this world, I offer thee from this moment my agony and all the pain of my passing away. Thou art my father and my saviour, and I give back my soul into thy hands. I desire that my last moment may be united to the moment of thy death, and that the last beat of my heart may be an act of pure love of thee. Amen" Friends and family are invited to attend a Memorial Service on Monday, September 19th, 2011 at Holy Name of Jesus Parish, 6367 St. Charles Ave in New Orleans.

Batt, Jr., a prominent local businessman and family man, died Sunday, September 18, 2011. He was 85 years of age. A life-long resident of the New Orleans area, Mr. Batt graduated from Riverside Military Academy in Hollywood, Florida, in 1941, and attended Tulane University, graduating with a B.A. degree in 1946. After securing his B.A. degree, he commenced architectural and design studies at the Chicago Institute of Design. While an architectural student, he was called upon by his father, Harry Batt, Sr., to assist in operating a local business, Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Park, on the lakefront in New Orleans. Over a period of many years, he worked his way up from stock/merchandise clerk to the position of President of Playland Amusements Incorporated, the operator of Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Park. Although at one point he hoped to have a career in architecture, he abandoned that interest when he began working at the amusement park and when he decided "to make a living out of fun". He learned the amusement park business, along with his brother, John Batt, from their father. His father, Harry Batt, Sr., retired in 1970, and Harry Batt, Jr., and his brother, John Batt, served as President, and Vice President, respectively, until the lakefront park closed, in 1983. Pontchartrain Beach was an amusement park located on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain, which operated for 54 years. Mr. Batt managed the park, along with his brother John, from the 1960's until its closure in 1983. Pontchartrain Beach included a beach shore, amusement rides (including a thrilling rollercoaster known to New Orleanians as The Zephyr), and concession stands. The park featured live music concerts, including performances by many local musicians. Generations of New Orleanians have fond memories of the amusement park's thrills. A landmark of the park's asphalt midway was the giant clown head, whose mouth was big enough to accommodate multiple kids. Mr. Batt enjoyed walking the midway and watching the kids' reactions. The park's wooden rollercoaster, the Zephyr, was, for many years, considered to be one of the nation's finest. Contrary to its name, it was not a gentle breeze, as it rocketed kids to 60 miles per hour on a sinuous track. The Beach was a great place for first dates and the terror of the Zephyr made it easy to cozy up to a girlfriend. An enterprising young man could go up to a girl and say "do you want some cotton candy or to go on a ride?" It was innocent and it was safe. The amusement park offered a variety of family entertainment. Free shows started every night at 9 p.m. Animal acts, circus performers, and marriage ceremonies conducted on a tightrope entertained guests on steamy, summer nights. Tightrope walkers and circus acts were succeeded by big name acts like the singers Rudy Valle, Fabian, and Elvis Presley. Elvis, who was in his early days as a performer, lost top billing to an animal act. The amusement park also featured the Bali Hai Restaurant, which opened in 1958, as one of the first eateries to introduce Chinese cuisine to the metropolitan New Orleans area. In an A-Frame Polynesian paradise, it featured exotic mixed drinks and Asian bamboo décor. Due to liberal drinking laws, many young couples drank their first cocktails in the shade of palm fronds, at their prom night dinners. Mr. Batt was very active in business organizations and in the fabric of the local community - he was a president of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions; he served on the Board of various metropolitan banks; he was active in the Hermes Carnival Organization; he served as a consultant for the Seattle World's Fair; he provided advice regarding Disney's expansion into Orlando, Florida; and he served as President of Rotary. Mr. Batt, along with his brother, started the "Storyland" amusement park in City Park, which included a miniature train, carousel, and other attractions. Storyland operated under the oaks in City Park for many decades. Upon the conclusion of this City Park amusement venture, he and his family arranged for the unique European carousel to be fully restored so that it could be given as a donation to New Orleans, the city he loved, for future generations of kids. In his later years, after he retired from the amusement business, Mr. Batt became a fine amateur artist. Painting became more than a hobby and family and friends consistently requested that he produce works for them. His passion for painting caused him to study at many local art schools. In his retirement years he loved to paint for hours, have dinner at the end of the day, and enjoy a good glass of wine with his loved ones. He will be terribly missed by his family and loved ones. He was admired and respected by many, as expressed best in a quote from a letter that his grandson read in honor of him at his funeral service: "He married the woman of his dreams and loved her until the day he died. He built a family and watched it grow and prosper. His business brought joy to thousands. In his retirement, his brilliance turned to art and he left a legacy to his loved ones. He was an entrepreneur, a world traveler, a connoisseur of food and drink, a top-notch conversationalist and a devoted individualist". He was preceded in death by his father, Harry Batt, Sr., and his brother, John Batt, who were his business partners and confidants for many years. Survivors include his wife, Fay Vilac Batt; three children, Harry Batt, III, David V. Batt, and Barbara Claiborne; and seven grandchildren, William Charles Cole Claiborne, Jeffrey Reid Claiborne, Harry Ross Claiborne, David Vilac Batt Jr., Timothy Brendan Batt, Julie C. Batt and Harry J. Batt IV. Private services were held, with only immediate family members in attendance, last week. The family asks that any donations be made to the Blessed Francis Seelos Center, 919 Josephine Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, or to St. Joseph Hospice and Palliative Care, at 824 Elmwood Park Boulevard, #155, New Orleans, LA 70123-3322.

In his later years, after he retired from the amusement business, Mr. Batt became a fine amateur artist. Painting became more than a hobby and family and friends consistently requested that he produce works for them. His passion for painting caused him to study at many local art schools. In his retirement years he loved to paint for hours, have dinner at the end of the day, and enjoy a good glass of wine with his loved ones. He will be terribly missed by his family and loved ones. He was admired and respected by many, as expressed best in a quote from a letter that his grandson read in honor of him at his funeral service: "He married the woman of his dreams and loved her until the day he died. He built a family and watched it grow and prosper. His business brought joy to thousands. In his retirement, his brilliance turned to art and he left a legacy to his loved ones. He was an entrepreneur, a world traveler, a connoisseur of food and drink, a top-notch conversationalist and a devoted individualist". He was preceded in death by his father, Harry Batt, Sr., and his brother, John Batt, who were his business partners and confidants for many years. Survivors include his wife, Fay Vilac Batt; three children, Harry Batt, III, David V. Batt, and Barbara Claiborne; and seven grandchildren, William Charles Cole Claiborne, Jeffrey Reid Claiborne, Harry Ross Claiborne, David Vilac Batt Jr., Timothy Brendan Batt, Julie C. Batt and Harry J. Batt IV. Private services were held, with only immediate family members in attendance, last week.

Batt, Jr., a prominent local businessman and family man, died Sunday, September 18, 2011. He was 85 years of age. A life-long resident of the New Orleans area, Mr. Batt graduated from Riverside Military Academy in Hollywood, Florida, in 1941, and attended Tulane University, graduating with a B.A. degree in 1946. After securing his B.A. degree, he commenced architectural and design studies at the Chicago Institute of Design. While an architectural student, he was called upon by his father, Harry Batt, Sr., to assist in operating a local business, Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Park, on the lakefront in New Orleans. Over a period of many years, he worked his way up from stock/merchandise clerk to the position of President of Playland Amusements Incorporated, the operator of Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Park. Although at one point he hoped to have a career in architecture, he abandoned that interest when he began working at the amusement park and when he decided "to make a living out of fun". He learned the amusement park business, along with his brother, John Batt, from their father. His father, Harry Batt, Sr., retired in 1970, and Harry Batt, Jr., and his brother, John Batt, served as President, and Vice President, respectively, until the lakefront park closed, in 1983. Pontchartrain Beach was an amusement park located on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain, which operated for 54 years. Mr. Batt managed the park, along with his brother John, from the 1960's until its closure in 1983. Pontchartrain Beach included a beach shore, amusement rides (including a thrilling rollercoaster known to New Orleanians as The Zephyr), and concession stands. The park featured live music concerts, including performances by many local musicians. Generations of New Orleanians have fond memories of the amusement park's thrills. A landmark of the park's asphalt midway was the giant clown head, whose mouth was big enough to accommodate multiple kids. Mr. Batt enjoyed walking the midway and watching the kids' reactions. The park's wooden rollercoaster, the Zephyr, was, for many years, considered to be one of the nation's finest. Contrary to its name, it was not a gentle breeze, as it rocketed kids to 60 miles per hour on a sinuous track. The Beach was a great place for first dates and the terror of the Zephyr made it easy to cozy up to a girlfriend. An enterprising young man could go up to a girl and say "do you want some cotton candy or to go on a ride?" It was innocent and it was safe. The amusement park offered a variety of family entertainment. Free shows started every night at 9 p.m. Animal acts, circus performers, and marriage ceremonies conducted on a tightrope entertained guests on steamy, summer nights. Tightrope walkers and circus acts were succeeded by big name acts like the singers Rudy Valle, Fabian, and Elvis Presley. Elvis, who was in his early days as a performer, lost top billing to an animal act. The amusement park also featured the Bali Hai Restaurant, which opened in 1958, as one of the first eateries to introduce Chinese cuisine to the metropolitan New Orleans area. In an A-Frame Polynesian paradise, it featured exotic mixed drinks and Asian bamboo décor. Due to liberal drinking laws, many young couples drank their first cocktails in the shade of palm fronds, at their prom night dinners. Mr. Batt was very active in business organizations and in the fabric of the local community - he was a president of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions; he served on the Board of various metropolitan banks; he was active in the Hermes Carnival Organization; he served as a consultant for the Seattle World's Fair; he provided advice regarding Disney's expansion into Orlando, Florida; and he served as President of Rotary. Mr. Batt, along with his brother, started the "Storyland" amusement park in City Park, which included a miniature train, carousel, and other attractions. Storyland operated under the oaks in City Park for many decades. Upon the conclusion of this City Park amusement venture, he and his family arranged for the unique European carousel to be fully restored so that it could be given as a donation to New Orleans, the city he loved, for future generations of kids.

Bossetta (Retired) a life-long resident of the Greater New Orleans area, passed away on September 15, 2011. Bossetta is survived by his wife of 60 years, Mildred Duffy Bossetta, his seven children, Barbara L. Bossetta, Mary Ann Bossetta, Michael J. Bossetta, Sr., Bonnie Bossetta Lavie, Patrick R. Bossetta, Kathleen Bossetta Levine and Brian J. Bossetta, his 19 grandchildren and four great grandchildren. He is pre-deceased by his parents, Gaspar R. Bossetta and Rachael P. Bossetta. Born on August 12, 1927, Bossetta graduated from Holy Cross High School in 1942 at the age of 14 and, like many of his generation, enlisted in the Marine Corps at 15. At a time when most teenagers are starting to think about college, Joseph R. Bossetta was already a battle-hardened Marine. As a Forward Observer assigned to the 4th Marine Division in the Pacific Theater, Bossetta directed artillery fire on Japanese forces, a task that required action beyond enemy lines in order to better obtain coordinates on the enemy. Forward Observers were considered high-value targets because of their crucial role in calling in the heavy guns. By war's end, Bossetta had fought in such major battles as Roi, Namur, Kwajalein, Saipan, Tinian, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Shortly after turning 18, Bossetta witnessed the official capitulation of Japan. As a member of Task Force Thirty-One he participated in the initial landing and occupation of Japan and the capture of the HIJMS Nagato, which symbolized the unconditional and complete surrender of the Japanese Navy. He later served as a Judge Advocate in the Marine Corps Reserve from 1976-1982, retiring with the rank of Major. Upon returning home from World War II, Bossetta continued his life of public service. He was elected to the Louisiana legislature and served as floor leader under Governor Earl K. Long. During his tenure in Baton Rouge, Bossetta conceptualized, drafted and steered through the state house the legislation that created LSUNO (now UNO) and SUNO. After leaving the capitol, Bossetta served as First Assistant District Attorney in the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office and later took on the role of acting D.A. In 1963 Governor Jimmie Davis appointed Bossetta to the judiciary where he would serve as judge in the municipal and criminal district courts for more than 25 years, both in elective and appointive capacities. During his time on the bench, Bossetta instituted rehabilitation programs for offenders addicted to alcohol and drugs and started a clinic for battered women. After attending Loyola University, Bossetta was admitted to the Louisiana Bar Association in 1950 after apprenticing with his father. He maintained a private law practice for more than 50 years. Throughout his career, Bossetta was a staunch ally of the New Orleans Police Department donating hours of free legal and legislative counsel as spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police, Crescent City Lodge No. 2. In that role, he championed many benefits for the NOPD and also represented the Louisiana BAR Pilots Association. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the funeral mass at Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church, 1501 West Causeway Approach, Mandeville, LA 70471 on Saturday, September 17, 2011 at 1:00 PM.

He died from complications of a massive stroke he suffered in August 1969 on the steps of the LSU Student Union in Baton Rouge, La. — the day he received his hard earned Ph.D. in Statistics. Although he never recovered, and continued to suffer and decline for the next 42 years, "Jimmy" never lost his brilliant mind or his sharp sense of humor. He remained forever proud of his Irish heritage, enjoyed reading and talking about history and loved watching the LSU Tigers play football on Saturday nights. Prior to his stroke, Jimmy had earned a B.S. in Physics from Loyola University in New Orleans, an M.B.A. from the University of New Orleans and a Ph.D. in Statistics from LSU. Jimmy was born on July 28, 1942 in Paducah, Ky. He was the proud son of Col. Anthony Fleming, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, of Lawrence, Mass., and Addie Caldwell Fleming of Paducah, Ky. Both preceded him in death. He is survived by his loving siblings: Elizabeth Fleming Bonner and her husband Mark W. Bonner, both of Mandeville, La., Patricia Fleming of LaJolla, Calif., Tony Fleming of Jacksonville, Fla.; nephew, Mark Fleming Bonner of New York City and niece, Megan Fleming Bonner of Mandeville, La. Jimmy is remembered as a loving brother, uncle, friend and gentleman who always showed concern and humility towards his fellow man, which was best exemplified by his final words: "Are you okay?" In remembrance, his family asks that you thank the Lord for your gift of good health. It is a precious blessing. 9/18/2011 Times Picayune **************************************** 000447 FLETCHER Mary Nelson Fletcher, the owner/operator of Fletcher's Restaurant and head CNA of ICU @ Southern Baptist Hospital, passed away peacefully on August 25, 2011.

JACKSON Lily Groover Jackson, retired feature writer for The Times-Picayune, died Sunday, Sept. 4, at Ochsner Medical Center after a brief illness. She was 83. A native of Wilmington, NC, and longtime resident of New Orleans, Lily was a journalism graduate from the University of South Carolina. "Mama Lil," as she was known to her family, lived a long and joyful life filled with, and surrounded by, her passions - engaging in great conversation, playing bridge, reading voraciously (especially on the topics of true crime and the British Royal Family), raising her beloved cats, doting on her children and grandchildren, collecting "treasures", and sharing her unique brand of southern charm, wit and insight. She loved going to the Fair Grounds Racecourse on Thanksgiving Day, which was a tradition with her children and grandchildren; she dubbed herself "Longshot Lil" for her penchant for wagering $2 on anything with "Cat" in its name and long odds of winning. Lily got her professional start as a reporter for the Wilmington Star-News in her hometown. She moved to New Orleans in 1952 after she met and married John E. Jackson Jr. Years later, after her divorce, she took up journalism again as a feature writer for The Times-Picayune. One of her favorite stories, which she loved to recount, was an article she wrote about Omar Sharif, who was in town for a bridge tournament. She never actually interviewed him, but wrote about her attempts to do so, and the story won a Press Club of New Orleans feature writing award. As a writer and as a mom, Lily was a stickler for proper grammar and a well-turned phrase. Her hallmark southern charm and sharp wit made her a favorite at any dinner table or cocktail party. "There are two kinds of people in this world," she recently (and pointedly) told a family friend, "those who play bridge, and those who wish they could." Lily made friends easily and loved the many local characters she encountered during and after her career as a reporter. Along with her longtime friend, M.I. Scoggin, she composed humorous skits and performed them at local club meetings. The two friends also penned an unpublished romance novel. Above all, she never lost her love of reading, learning and good conversation. Right up to her final hours, she was lively, witty and in great spirits - and always able to see the humor in the world around her. Lily was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, the Colonial Dames, the Junior League of New Orleans and the Quarant Club. She left this world surrounded by friends and family, and she will be sorely missed. She is survived by her children, Molly Taylor (Geoff) of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Margo DuBos (Clancy) of New Orleans, and John E. "Bubba" Jackson III (Mary) of Hockessin, Del.; eight grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. A memorial service will be held at noon on Friday, Sept. 9, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 1329 Jackson Ave., with visitation at 11 a.m. She will be privately interred in Wilmington, NC, alongside her beloved sister, Margaret Groover. Lakelawn Metairie Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

It was with great joy that she married Kent A. Howard just prior to her death. Sandy was the daughter of Thomas Castleman Harry (deceased) and Sylvia Norman Duncan Harry Macdonald of New Orleans. She graduated from the Louise S. McGehee School in 1960, Newcomb College in 1964, and earned an MA from Harvard University in 1967. She lived in California, Indiana, North Carolina, and Massachusetts, before returning to the Gulf Coast in 2003. Following Katrina, she settled in St. Francisville. Sandy was a creative and purposeful teacher, publishing curricula, research, and philosophy around the education of young children. At Mt. Holyoke College's Gorse Child Study Center she also mentored college students, many of whom became teachers themselves. In 1997, she returned to New Orleans while on leave from Mt. Holyoke, to teach her Bodyworks curriculum from The Growing Edge (1996) at the Laurel School. It was around this time that Thich Nhat Hanh ordained her to the second order of the Order of Interbeing. She acted for a time as Buddhist Chaplain at Mt. Holyoke. After leaving Mt. Holyoke, Sandy became certified as a Trager bodywork practitioner, and approached it as her ministry. She helped many, frequently bringing relief to people who had found none through medicine. Sandy's accomplishments were less important to her than her life. She loved rocks, water, landscape, ecology, humor of all sorts, poetry and music. She strived to walk lightly on the earth, and bring joy to those around her. She leaves behind many close cousins and beloved friends. In addition to her mother, she is survived by: her daughter Heather "Cricket" Eccleston Hunter, son-in-law David Hunter, and their daughters Molly and Betsy in Pennsylvania; her son Duncan Eccleston, daughter-in-law Joanna Lemly, and their newborn son Heath in Colorado. An infant daughter, Elise, preceded her in death. In lieu of flowers, Sandy asked that memorial gifts be made to Relax to Learn, PO Box 2044, St. Francisville, LA 70775. She would also be delighted if each of us honored her memory by singing a song, telling a joke, finding beauty in the natural world, being fearlessly creative, or, above all, treating ourselves and each other with gratitude and kindness.

She was 52. A lifelong proud resident of New Orleans, she was born May 3, 1959 in Kansas City while her parents were on a trip. She is survived by her loyal spouse Martha Brewer, her mother Victoria Moussa Landry, her sister Paula Landry, her brother Billy Landry, two half brothers Kai and Andrew and probably by a half-sister who was never legally recognized. She is also survived by her nieces Ava and Adelyn Landry, Emily Johnson and nephew Ben Brewer, a host of cousins and innumerable friends and devotees. Susan and Martha were married in a civil ceremony in Toronto Canada on December 29, 2003. Ironically, in 2005 they costumed for Mardi Gras as the threat of gay marriage, little knowing that their journey would became a testament to what a false issue that threat is. A local, self-taught folk artist and musician, Susan was strongly inspired and influenced by all types of New Orleans music, sub-cultures and inner city activities. Her unique folk paintings were painted backwards on glass and then suspended above a canvas or board painting. Susan's pieces are constructed and layered with her canvas paintings, wood, metal and found local objects. This Eglomise technique of painting dates back to the pre-Roman era but is an unusual talent rarely seen in contemporary art. She began painting at the age of 35 when experimenting with an old windowpane. Susan's work has been exhibited at several galleries including an individual show at the Contemporary Arts Center, d.o.c.s., Stella Jones, her own Brewer-Landry Gallery, and most recently at Ariodante Gallery. Susan's work was also shown at Sorelle's in Little Rock. Susan regularly donated her art for local charity auctions. Susan was a true Renaissance woman, a jack of all trades and, unlike others, a master of almost all of them. She brought out the best in everyone by her caring attitude, devotion to duty and tireless energy. She attended Ursuline Academy and graduated a year early from Eleanor McMain. She received a B.A. in Biology From Tulane University and an MPH from Tulane University School of Public Health. She worked in tobacco control, as a delivery driver for Fed-Ex, studied and worked in speech pathology, a paralegal and a retailer. She completed an accelerated RN with Our Lady Of The Lake College and worked as an operating room nurse with Tulane Hospital. She was a member of the Human Rights Campaign and Krewe du Vieux. The daughter of Victoria, who was a very successful retailer in the French Quarter with Victoria's Shoes, Susan founded a trendy clothing store Nous Viola and then co-founded, co-owned and slaved tirelessly at the very successful Coffee and Company at multiple locations. She also owned and operated the former Brewer-Landry Gallery. In her spare time she studied jazz and blues guitar. After Katrina's flooding, Susan's heart-felt painting of flooded shotgun houses, titled "Proud To Swim Home," was screen printed on tee shirts. All revenues from the sale of those shirts were donated to the New Orleans Covenant House. Following this successful venture she went on do several other tee shirts collections based on her paintings, most recently a Mardi Gras Indian theme. Diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic lung cancer in June 2010, her illness did not stop her for a minute. She sought aggressive surgery and treatment at Tulane, and was enrolled in a clinical trial at MD Anderson in Houston. She entered Hospice (which she called Hopscotch) on September 7th, and died at home with her spouse and Flynn and Garbo, their Great Danes, by her side. Susan and Martha wrote about their cancer and life journey on the widely followed blog: www.caringbridge.org/visit/susanlandry. While receiving treatment, she continued to pursue her music and painting, producing a body of new work for her successful show at Ariodante Gallery in November 2010. Only two days before she died, Susan spent the day at the Street Fare Derby Festival at the Fairgrounds. A Mass will be said at St Mary's Assumption Church, 2030 Constance St., on Friday, September 30 at 4pm. A Memorial Service will be held at noon at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., with visitation from 10am-12pm.

All revenues from the sale of those shirts were donated to the New Orleans Covenant House. Following this successful venture she went on do several other tee shirts collections based on her paintings, most recently a Mardi Gras Indian theme. Diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic lung cancer in June 2010, her illness did not stop her for a minute. She sought aggressive surgery and treatment at Tulane, and was enrolled in a clinical trial at MD Anderson in Houston. She entered Hospice (which she called Hopscotch) on September 7th, and died at home with her spouse and Flynn and Garbo, their Great Danes, by her side. Susan and Martha wrote about their cancer and life journey on the widely followed blog: www.caringbridge.org/visit/susanlandry. While receiving treatment, she continued to pursue her music and painting, producing a body of new work for her successful show at Ariodante Gallery in November 2010. Only two days before she died, Susan spent the day at the Street Fare Derby Festival at the Fairgrounds. A Mass will be said at St Mary's Assumption Church, 2030 Constance St., on Friday, September 30 at 4pm. A Memorial Service will be held at noon at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., with visitation from 10am-12pm.

He was predeceased by his parents: James and Leola Raymond; his twin sister, Leola Raymond Hogan; and his brother, Gerrard Raymond. He is survived by his long-term companion and good friend, Jacqueline "Jackie" McPherson; by his two loving nieces: Anne Raymond and Christine Raymond Hofmann; and by his dog, Hanz, who mourns his passing. He is also survived by a host of close and loving friends. Jimmie graduated from Jesuit High School at the age of 16. At age 20, he received his undergraduate degree in geology from LSU. After serving in the Air Force with a specialty in photography, he returned to LSU and received his Masters in Geology. After graduate school, Jimmie worked for a major oil company for many years and during that time was responsible for a substantial increase in oil and gas revenues. He later started his own company, J. P. Raymond, Inc. During his active career, Jimmie was responsible for the discovery of numerous oil and gas fields throughout south Louisiana. He was a member of the New Orleans Geological Society, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Petroleum Land Man's Association of New Orleans. In addition to the oil business, Jimmie was very active in the stock market, reading the Wall Street Journal religiously from cover to cover and trading on a daily basis. Jimmie had a large circle of close friends, and with many of these friends, Jackie and Jimmie traveled the world, visiting Buenos Aires, Turkey, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, China, Morocco, Thailand, Rio de Janeiro, colonial Brazil, the Amazon Rain Forest and India. They traveled on the transatlantic QE2, on the Orient Express, stayed in yurts and castles and rode camels and elephants. Together, they did it all. Jimmie was a unique individual - smart, funny and someone who danced to his own drumbeat. He cherished his many close friendships. He loved animals and had many pets during his life including his African Gray parrot, Honey, who he taught to talk and sing just like himself. Jimmie was a dedicated, but largely anonymous, philanthropist throughout his life. He donated to the Audubon Institute, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the World War II Museum, St. Michael's Special School, the Louisiana SPCA and the Archdiocese of New Orleans. He created a fund to assist geology students at LSU. He was responsible for funding the education of many students at Jesuit High School, to which he was a major contributor annually.

Jo Gwin, whose family were early settlers in the Mississippi Delta, was born on August 3, 1946 to the late Gwin and Nan Wilkinson Shelby of Shelby, Mississippi. Jo Gwin attended Shelby High School and graduated from Lausanne School for Girls in 1964. She graduated from Sophie Newcomb College of Tulane University in 1969, where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. In 1969 she began her teaching career at Metairie Park Country Day School. In 1987 she left teaching to study law, receiving her Juris Doctor with Law Review honors from Loyola Law School in 1990. After clerking for two years for federal judges, she realized her passion was teaching and returned to the classroom. She taught middle school history until 2004, when she was diagnosed with ALS. She remained on the staff at Country Day until 2007. For ten years, Jo Gwin was a faithful member of the Saint Charles Avenue Baptist Church, where she served as a deacon. She frequently volunteered as a tutor at Café Reconcile. A tri-athlete and marathoner, she competed in numerous triathlons and six mara-thons, including the Boston Marathon in 1982. In 2010 the Jo Gwin Shelby Endowed Fund for Financial Aid at Metairie Park Country Day School was established in her honor by friends, family, faculty and former students. Her legacy as a teacher and beloved member of the Country Day community will live on through this endowment and all of the many lives she touched. Jo Gwin was greatly respected by all who knew her for her vitality, intellect and wit. She had an adventurous and cheerful spirit, was an avid reader, and loved going to the movies. Later in life, she became an amateur ornithologist. Jo Gwin lived her life fully and unafraid, with gusto and passion, head and heart fully engaged in the quest for a life well lived. She will be deeply and dearly missed by all who knew her. A loving and devoted mother and grandmother, Jo Gwin is survived by her daughter Shelby Mayhew Saer, son-in-law John K. Saer, Jr., three grandchildren Kenneth, Tobin and Julia; and her faithful service dog Lolly. Jo Gwin is also survived by her sisters Becky Smith (Pearman) of Cleveland, Mississippi, and Bobbie Lou Green (Gardiner) of Fairhope, Alabama, along with five nieces and nephews. Her family wants to express their appreciation to her many close friends; her loving caregivers Linda Jones Bastian and Malou Gramaje, along with Janie Gage, Gail O'Brian, Jennifer Hewitt, Sherisse Lewis, and Megan Matthews; and to both Greenwich Hospice and the Johns Hopkins ALS Clinic for the expert medical care and loving kindness they provided to Jo Gwin.

Henry loved people, politics and business. Widely respected for his views and experience, he was the consummate entrepreneur and self-made man. Having started numerous successful businesses throughout the River Parishes and the New Orleans region, Henry was well-known for his construction company of 25 years, Fremin-Smith Services and in later years, the businesses he developed with his sons that he continued to work in until his passing. He was the nucleus and provided the guidance for the development of the Magnolia Companies, a multi-company conglomerate in the fields of construction, marine dredging, housing, disaster recovery, material sales, finance, real estate and consulting on a national basis. He was recently the driving force for the decision to locate the headquarters for the Magnolia Companies in St. Charles Parish. He was a problem solver and saw each situation as a chance to improve and develop his skills. An active philanthropist, Henry's love of people was ever present in his attitude as he was always helping those who were in need. He was influential in the establishment of the G. Smith Motorsports Operation, who is solely responsible for many annual benefits to assist the less fortunate throughout the Gulf Coast. He especially enjoyed helping organizations such as Ursaline Academy, and was a founding member of the Mahalia Jackson Early Childhood for the Disadvantaged, Sacred Heart in Norco, First Baptist Church of Norco, as well as numerous other charities and organizations. He always believed in the spirit and generosity of mankind, and that everyone deserved a chance. He never met anyone he did not like, and likewise, was loved and respected by most who knew him. Henry always looked for the silver lining and was always reminding those around him that no matter what the situation, there were always two sides. He was the eternal optimist, and could make you believe that even yesterday could get better. His smile, kindness and sense of humor will live on in all of us. Henry was proud to have been the longest serving member of the New Orleans Aviation Board, representing St. Charles Parish for over 26 years. In that time, he fought to make sure St. Charles Parish was equally represented including patrols by the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's office. He served as Treasurer of the State Democratic Party, was an elected member to the Democratic State Central Committee representing St. Charles Parish for over 20 years, was a 32nd degree Mason and a member of the Jerusalem Temple, where he enjoyed being part of the Shriner's Motorcycle unit. He was a past President of the River Parish Kiwanis Club, and a member of the Norco Civic Association. He was a Board Member for the St. James Bank and Trust and the First National Bank of St. Bernard. He served in the United States Air Force during the Korean conflict and was a member of the American Legion. He was a founding member and past President of the New Orleans and River Region Chamber of Commerce and also served as a member of the State Board of Commerce and Industry. As a lifelong lover of music and dancing, he particularly enjoyed his time spent as a member of the local Oldies but Goodies Dance Club. Henry's other great passion in life was politics. Having become active as a young man, Henry played an influential role over the last 60 years in numerous local, state and federal elections. Known by many as a yellow dog Democrat, he was well respected and fondly considered by all to be fair, honest and upstanding. He is credited by many to be their inspiration and mentor in the political and business worlds. He was always more interested in the merits of the debate and truly moving this area, state and country in the right direction. His philosophy was to do the most good for the greatest number of people. Henry was predeceased by his wife of 54 years, Donyce Jackson Smith, and his son Kirk Daniel Smith.
